Helen, arguing with @aidanctweets is like trying to explain trigonometry to a duck.

He's an admitted liar (see below) who went down the rabbit hole of right-wing misogyny & homophobia 15 years ago and simply cannot find a way out. His entire life is built around tweeting all day, every day, on an argument he lost years ago, but it's all the poor man has.

There's nothing anyone can say to make him recognise the mistakes he's made but it's obvious that he needs professional medical help. From what I understand, his family have tried to step in but without success. For his own sake, simply out of kindness, he's best ignored. https://t.co/7Xoe7naGDD

I wonder if I'm the first novelist to have a chocolate bar made out of his novel? 🍫 @Meulenhoff

@AkaPaulHoward @IrishBookAward It was a @ThomBrowne jacket. The most expensive item of clothing I own and I don't wear it often enough!!

[John Boyne @JohnBoyne]

It's that time of year again! The launch of the @IrishBookAward and a great evening with my pals @AkaPaulHoward, Cecelia Ahern, Roisin Ingle and Myles Dungan.
A great celebration of Irish writers.

@TakedownMRAs I'd suggest you read it again, slowly and carefully! 😂

[John Boyne @JohnBoyne]

@blablafishcakes @MissLauraMarcus @jk_rowling Really? Even @AidanCTweets, a more tragic figure than Hamlet, King Lear, Macbeth and Othello combined, abandoned it. 😂😂

[John Boyne @JohnBoyne]

@TakedownMRAs I think you might have mis-read my post! 😂

[John Boyne @JohnBoyne]

@MissLauraMarcus @jk_rowling Pronouns! Remember that?! It's funny how that concept got completely abandoned, even by the die-hards.

[John Boyne @JohnBoyne]

Beautiful displays of THE WEIGHT OF ANGELS in @Hatchards London!

[John Boyne @JohnBoyne]

@Worldweeps Oh, I just googled it. Never heard of that before! You live and learn! 🙂

[John Boyne @JohnBoyne]

Down in Kerry with my partner after a long books tour and it’s nice to see, side by side in @eason Killarney with one of my favourite writers and one of my dearest friends, Donal Ryan.

[John Boyne @JohnBoyne]

@Worldweeps I literally have no idea what that means. What on earth is community noted?

[John Boyne @JohnBoyne]

Heading home after the first 10-day leg of THE WEIGHT OF ANGELS book tour. Many thanks to the booksellers, festivals & my amazing readers for making it so much fun!

Honestly, living my BEST life right now, in love & books. ❤️📚

I contributed to the DEAD, ALIVE AND UNDERRATED series in this weekend's @thetimes, where I reveal my favourite book by a dead writer, a living writer and the writer I think is most underrated.
